Yes, I intentionally wrote hip-pop because that's what this is. Outasight is a distinctintive artist who has delivered a well-crafted collection of songs that successfully blends both genres. I think he's got potential to really bring something new to the musical table and I would be interested to see what he does with his next release.

My only problem is that stylistically, the songs skew more younger than older which is a problem considering at least half the tracks have explicit language. I'm not particularly uptight about this kind of stuff but I can't play this CD with my 12-year old daughter in the room and am not comfortable with her listening to some of the tracks because of the language. It's not that the subject matter is explicit; it's just there's a noticeable presence of four-letter words. I think all artists would do well to simply include PG-versions of all tracks with the original versions and thereby widen their audience.

Okay. So this may not be Outasight's style and his old mixtapes were the bomb, but this is more like a reinvention of himself. He proved to me that he is versatile and an awesome artist. This album has a mix of everything. His old style and new style. Im glad to be a long-time fan, this album will make me one forever!!! Ray-Bam fam for life! Can't wait for what he has next! Keep it up dude! Your awesome!!!

For Richard Andrew, a.k.a. Outasight music is life."Really though, I just describe my sound as pop music that is inspired by my iTunes playlist, which means, every genre that a good song could possibly be in can inspire my next song. I just love music." he said.His direction was almost chosen for him. He grew up in Yonkers, N.Y. with a mother who decorated the walls with records. His father played the guitar. The family moved alot so Outasight used music as solace, and a constant home.He recently completed his first full length CD Nights Like These in November but he's been in the spotlight since he first signed with Warner in Oct. 2009.Songs like "I'll Drink to That," "Tonight Is the Night," and "Shine (featuring Chiddy Bang)" are already in heavy rotation.The whole album is packed with upbeat songs, that have an almost inspirational feel to them."Yes, I grew up around 30 minutes out of the city (New York), so, growing up, it was either kegs and house parties in the burbs or train down to the city to clubs/bars/raves. Raging has definitely been an inspiration. So much so in my liner notes I shout out my homies and let em know that the partying we've done has definitely helped inspire some of these songs," Outasight said.
